<p>The invention relates to a checkout system having a processor (94) and a remotely operated cash box assembly (20) comprising a box-like structure having a front wall portion (26), a rear wall portion (28) and two side wall portions (22, 24). Rotatably mounted between the front wall portion (26) and the rear wall portion (28) is a spring (56) urged cover member (30). A solenoid (62) actuated latch mechanism (66, 74) mounted to the front wall portion (26) engages a latching surface (82) on the cover member (30) latching the cover member (30) upon movement of the cover member (30) to a position engaging the front wall portion (26). Energizing of the solenoid (62) by the processor (94) releases the cover member (30) for movement to a position adjacent the rear wall (28) portion opening the cash box assembly (20). Located within the cash box assembly (20) is a cash tray (36) having separate compartments for coins and bills (38, 40) in which the bill compartments (40) are orientated in an upward direction to facilitate the removal and depositing of bills in the tray (36).</p> |
